POSTE OUTLINES SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
CONVENTION TO BB HELD
OBERLIN MAY S IS BEING
PLANNED
IN
"Who can offer us more advice and
enthusiasm for efficient Sundfty School
work?" says B. P. Post*, president ot
th. Lorain County Sunday School Association In an interview today, "than
the staff of experts of the itate organization?"
Poite says he doesn't believe In talk
without Action. The speeches at the
county convention at Oberlin May 3
are to pav. the way for a definite and
concrete plan of action during the ensuing year. "If by the help of my as
soclates in this work I am able for
th. annual convention to develop a
program to fire with enthusiasm the
Sunday school workers of Lorain county," continued Mr. Poste, "my efforts
will be well rewarded."
"Lorain county does not lack for
good Sunday school workers," says
Poste, "but this Is spare time work
and In the rush of other tasks Is often
neglected even by those who are the
best leaders, teachers, officers, and
class members. What we need is a
thorough awakening to the need of our
efforts. What work offers greater rewards than the satisfaction of having
used the talents we have to carry on
the work of the Sunday school where
children, and grown-ups as well, come
to study of Ood? Whatever talents
one may have for music, speaking, or
leadership, those talents can be used
to help the church school."
"If these state Sunday school speakers, those from Cleveland and those
from the county can arouse more enthusiasm for the noble work of the
8unday school there Is no question
about increasing the efficiency of the
church schools of our county," continued Mr. Poste.
"In the teacher training classes the
past year much good has been done.
This work must go on. The reports
of this year's olasses at the convention should fire county Sunday achool
workers with the Incentive to under
take something more difficult next
year; other communities should fall
Into line and thus carry the benefits
of this county-wide movement to the
Individual church school. This years'
convention will be a meaty one for
every Sunday school worker of the
county and all will profit much by attending," he conoluded.
COUNCIL WILL HOLD
SPECIAL MEET FRIDAY
The village council will hold a special meeting at the town hall tomorrow night at. which time the proper
legislation necessary to start the pav
Ing of Milan avenue will be completed.
It has also been arranged to have the
Oreen Line officials present to discuss
the changing ot the Y on Milan avenue. The council hope to come to a
final settlement on this question tomorrow night.

MANY ATTEND DANCE
▲ largrf crowd attended the dance
given by th. South Amherst Post No.
197 of th. American L<eglon at the
Foresters hall Saturday evening. The
music for th. .vent was furnished by
th. South Amherst orchestra. About

Tb. Legion will giv. another dance
at th. Foresters hall Saturday even
ing, April 22. Music will b. furnished

A good many of the residents of the
town are taking the annual clean-up
week, announced for Amherst for
April 18 to 20, in connection with the
state campaign, in earnest and are
now busy gathering rubbish and cans
Into barrels preparatory to having
them carried away on the 18th. It has
also been noticed that the lawns and
yards are being cleaned up and from
all Indications the town will be In a
good condition from both a standpoint
of appearance and healthfulness.
As has already been explained, the
wagons which have been hired to carry away the rubbish will make only
one trip around town and that it will
be necessary to have the rubbish in
substantial receptables on the curb on
or before the 18th ot April or it will
not be carried away.
Clean-up week will not only make
the town take on a better appearance
but will lessen the possibilities of
fires. It is necessary that this point
be emphasized, as over 343 persons
lost their lives in fires In Ohio last
year. The property loss for the same
period amounts to over $14,000,000.
The stale fire marshal states, that 97
per cent of the deaths and 87 per cent
of the property loss can be avoided. If
the deaths and loss of property can
be lessened by a few days ot cleaning
up, the efforts will not be In vain.
Clare Avery has been appointed general manager of the Victrola department of the Stewart Bros. Furniture
company's store at Columbus. Mr.
Avery left Amherst several months
ago and accepted a position with the
same company in Toledo, where he
has been employed up to the present.
His knowledge and experience with
th* Victrola has enabled him to receive this appointment. He Is expected to take charge of his new post tbe
latter part of this week.

MEMBER OF COLLEGE FACULTY
WAS SPEAKER SUNDAY
Dr. Storms ot Baldwin-Wallace college, Berea, delivered a stirring sermon to the members of the Methodist-
Congregational church last Sunday
morning. Dr. Storms is a very able
speaker and is well known to several
Amherst people, having spoken here
before. His sermon on last Sunday
was very much appreciated.
If any doubt remains as to whether
or not the business outlook Is growing brighter, all that Is necessary to
dispel that doubt Is to read a few of
the many encouraging reports received
this month from men who are In close
touch wltb the situation. Tbe best
part ot It is tbat the reports are conservative. A tew months ago when
business prospects were clouded the
reports certainly were not colored to
reflect conditions any better than they
were, as pessimism was then prevalent. Now, however, a big majority
of our correspondents feel that they
can report in a more optimistic vein
and have their reports substantiated
by facts.
Of all the intricate mechanism in
business, the human machine Is the
most sensitive. It quickly resets to rumors good or bad. But the state ot
mind of the country as a whole is
more stable. It has a tendency to
run in a pretty well defined channel,
even though such a channel in the past
may have led too far. People now believe that bettor times are ahead, and
it will require something more grave
than Is in the business horizon now
to change that idea.
A feature of outstanding importance
in tho reports last month was that
stocks quite generally are low. This
:s even more in evidence at the present lime. Indeed It is difficult to pick
out any particular Industry where the
buying Is not reported to be on a
hand to-inoiitli basis. This is the
strength and hopefulness ot the revival going on in many lines of busi-
JUSH. The movement Is continuing de-
uplte decreases in inventories and
without any stocking up program in
evidence.
That a time is approaching when
hand-to-mouth buying will change to
that ot purchasing tor business in
prospect Instead of only for present
orders, there is no doubt. No general
statement can be made in prediction
when that time will arrive. Part of
the sea, at least, is safe, and boats
can now travel there confidently. The
rowers ot the boats will know when
the waves have subsided on that part
of tbe sea not yet entirely calm.
One of the Interesting developments
of the past few weeks Is tbe decided
improvement in the motor truck industry. Tire manufacturers advise us
that many motor trucks which have
been idle for the last year and a half
are uow going Into commission. Aside
from the direct benefit of truck tire
sales, this Is a very decided indication
of the increase in the general volume
of business.
Notwithstanding that the almost
unanimous opinion of those business
TO CONDUCT BAKE SALE.
The Ladles' Aid society of St. Peters church will conduct a bake sale
at the O. H. Baker & Company's furniture store Saturday ufternoon. The
sale will start at 2 o'clock and a complete line of baked goods will be there

MARRIED PEOPLE DANCE.
The first of a series of three dances
to be given by the Married People's
Dance club this summer wus given In
the K. of P. hall last evening. A large
number was present and an enjoyable
evening was spent by all. Hazen's orchestra ot Lorain furnished the music.

Professor Jameson, of Oberlin college, was present at the special chapel exercises of the local high school
Tuesday afternoon and delivered a
stirring address on the subject
"France." Mr. Jameson Is professor
of French at Oberlin and has traveled extensively in France, studying
their language and customs.
Many Illustrations were used
throughout his lecture, Borne of which
he photogruphed while making a tour
of France last summer.
Some of the most noteworthy of tho
illustrations was the famous cathedral of Khelms, which was bombarded
by the German army during the war.
Mr. Jameson stated that the structure,
although partly in ruins, was well
worth the while to see. Other pictures
of ruined villages were also seen, some
of which are still In the condition as
they were when the armistice was
signed.
The "chateau" of Henry IV was
also shown. It Is one of the largest
buildings lu France and was at one
time the home of Henry IV. It Is so
lurge that 10,000 people could enter It,
according to a statement made by
Mr. Jameson. It is now used as an
art gallery, In which some of the masterpieces of art are on display.
Following tbe lecture, Mr. Jameson
and Miss Rossltor, also of Oberlin,
sang several French songs, which in
his estimation conveyed the best of
French music. Mr. Jameson also rendered a French song on the French
horn.
Through the efforts of Miss Steele
the students were able to hear Prof.
Jameson and their applause showed
"beaucoup" enthusiasm and appreciation of Mr. Jameson's lecture on a
subject of Interest to all.
